Indeed we do. About 5k, and a very silly fantasy thing it is too. Confession: the pissing dog statue is the fault of my corrupted imagination, athough Stewart is hardly innocent as far as ridiculous ideas go.

Sorry I missed your piece the other week Zaan--being kept too busy by other things over my lunch breaks and not getting round to much critting at all :(

No worries Matt, I've missed a few weeks myself. School's doing its best to keep me on my toes.

And Aaron, I'm sorry to have missed your story. I saw Matt's but seem to have overlooked yours. Also the story I have up this week is one you've already critted, just mildly tweaked and with a different title, so no need to re-crit it as I don't think it's changed all that much.

I've got a story up this week: Man, Dog, Robot. It's an overhaul of a previous version I ran through Critters. If you have time would especially appreciate any thoughts on how the story fits, or doesn't fit, with WOTF. It runs on satire and a pinch of crude humor. Not sure it fits the WOTF mold.

I fell off the critters wagon over the summer, I'm afraid, but I'm clambering back on now. And I have one up this week, a mere slip of a thing at 1500 words, about fairies, if anyone has the time. Cheers!

I have wielded my MIGHTY and NEWFOUND powers of pro-authorship to sneak a story into the queue at zero notice :D 3000 words of magical realism turning to horror, up for another couple of days. It's got 13 crits already, so enough to be going on with; mostly posting this here in case any of you are nosey and want to have a gander at a rough first draft of mine (and this one is rough; written it and thrown it straight in the queue, because it feels like it needs big stuff doing to it still so not bothered polishing the prose yet).

I came across your story "The Space Between Souls" in this week's manuscripts. It's not as bad as you think. I hope you're able to get re-inspired on it and find it a good home. ;)

I have one coming up in the cue next week so look for one by Amy Henrie Gillett if you want to return the favor. ;) I work on my stories in the same way I paint, one coat at a time and each layer adds more details. Just an FYI, I'd say this story is only two or three coats in. I won't mention the name here because I'm thinking of using it for this quarters entry.

Hi Amy, I'll make sure to read yours then! Mine hits the top of the queue in two weeks, I'm excited/nervous/terrified.

I have another story in the queue this week - "After the Escape." It is unchanged from when it won Silver Honorable Mention in Q1 (So, amy has already given me a critique. I just wanted some more opinions before I dive into story surgery.)
